Grow Off Pen Chick Brooder

Our Grow Off Pen Chick Brooder is very similar to our universal brooder, but without expense of built-in heating elements and thermostat.

Simply add your own heat source are you are ready to go.

Our Grow Off Pen Chick Brooder is designed to eliminate stress in young birds by providing plenty of fresh air, light, feed and water space, and sanitary conditions for a confined area. Three clear plastic panels allow full and easy viewing of the brooder’s interior.

Each pen comes with three 28.5′ troughs which maybe used for either feed or water. Ample feed and water space is necessary to allow weaker chicks access in the presence of more dominant chicks. Any trough may be equipped with optional automatic watering to provide the large quantity of water necessary.

Failure to provide proper feed and water space can result in slower weight gain and perhaps higher chick mortality. The troughs are mounted on the outside of the pen so that the chicks do not mix droppings into the food or water.

The floor is a thin wire ½” mesh which will allow droppings to easily pass through. For small chicks like quail this floor requires that a layer of paper towels be laid down on the wire for the first 4 to 7 days after which quail may stand on the ½” wire floor. Day old poultry and ducks can be placed directly on the wire.

Grow Off Pen Drop pans are made of lightweight aluminum for long life. Drop pans can be easily pulled out even when brooders are stacked and the wire floor is heavy with birds.
